EDIVARD Y. MOORE, OF MILVAUKEE, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR TO THE MOORE MANUFACTURING AND FOUNDRY COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

DOOR-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 426,298, dated April 22, 1890.

Application filed March 29, 1889. Serial No. 305,238. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD Y. MOORE, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of lViseonsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door- Hangers, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to door-hangers, being [o designed as an improvement on the device set forth in my patent, No. 30l,873, issued December 18,1888; and it consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts to be hereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings and subsequently claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l represents an elevation of a door-hanger constructed aeeording to my invention; Fig. 2, a vertical 2o transverse section taken online 2 E. of l,

and Fig. 3 a horizontal section taken on line.

3 3 of Fig. 1.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A represents a bow having both its ends riveted or otherwise suitably secured to a rider-bar B.

Another rider-bar C is arranged parallel to the one B, and interposed between the ends of these bars are stay-blocks I), the latter and said bars being united by means of rivets 3o E or other suitable means.

As shown in the drawings, both bars I3 C are longitudinally slotted to form guideways for the ends of an axle G, the guideways being preferably contracted at their extremities and said ends of the axle reduced to form shoulders c, that limit the lateral movement of which said axle is capable.

Thile the construction just described is the one preferred, it is obvious that I may 4o otherwise construct the guideways and form shoulders on the axle without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Like in my former patent, a sheave ll is loosely mounted on the axle, and the latter is with the channeled bars or guideways described in said patent, as the shoulders on said axle will prevent the ends of the latter from coming into frictional contact with the closed sides of the channels and transfer the bearing entirely to the edges of the guideways 6o and the inner sides of said bars, it having been found difiicult to cast these bars and avoid irregularities that interfere with the travel of an axle capable of unrestricted lateral play.

Having thus fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a doo1l1ai1ge1,tl1e parallel bars thereof, provided with longitudinal guideways con- 7o tracted at their extremities, in combination with a sheave and a loose axle for the shea-ve, arranged to rotate in the guideways and provided with shoulders in opposition to said bars, substantially as set.- forth.

2. In a door-hanger having rider-bars, an axle provided with shoulders in opposition to the rider-bars, and a sheave loose on the axle, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 8c have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of \Viscousin, in the presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD Y. MOORE.
